I don’t get how ITV are saying he has lied. It’s been well known for years what he was up to. To me, they’ve just turned a blind eye.

It's not the scandal that leads to the downfall, but the cover-up.

I agree something went on with him and his brother when they were younger. Someone I knew years ago- his brother went to prison for sex offences against children. The person I knew was shocked but not in the right way. There was something very anxious about it.... and he was arrested for sex crimes against children 18 months later. It came out in court that their stepfather had sexually abused them from about 10 years old and their mum had covered it up. The stepfather also ended up in prison. There definitely is often a sexually abusive background if there's a trend of sex offending in a family

I honestly think that Holly she go.
Complete shakeup needed.

Stuckinthemiddle1990 · 26/05/2023 22:19

I think there is going to be another breaking news story soon.

Whenwilliberich · 26/05/2023 22:21

oh dear I am a gay man and I have been joking for a few years I’d have an affair with him for the money but now my joke is just tacky. I have a mug with his face on my husband bought me for me birthday what can I do with it?

GrandTheftWalrus · 26/05/2023 22:21

This is only the tip of the iceberg. I've been reading tattle for years and everything they've alluded to has now come out. Well most of it. It seems they are right on the money.

What else do you think is to come?

TheLemon · 26/05/2023 22:27

I remember reading an interview with Phillip Schofield in the late 80s / early 90s in Smash Hits or similar.

He said that his older sister and her friends used to practise kissing on him.

That's not normal, is it?

More young men I think. MM is not the only one in my opinion.

TheLemon · 26/05/2023 22:29

Though actually I've just googled and he doesn't appear to have a sister so I must have misremembered. Funny thing to misremember though.

@BeverForget er somehow I don’t think parents are going to want to watch him in panto somehow…

He’s behind you has a whole different meaning now

Thatladdo · 26/05/2023 22:31

Met him aged 10
Added him on social media at 15
Took him under his wing / control at 18.

From broom cupboard to groom cupboard, what a horrible specimen.

Well there’s been talk (and it’s mentioned in this thread) of a young male escort.

i agree the tea is well and truly about to be spilled and he’s getting in with his debate limitation before the whole deck of cards crashes down

TheCreamTeaWasFromMe · 26/05/2023 22:32

The rumours about the runner have been going round ever since PS came out - the theory being that his hand was forced and made the announcement to get ahead of the story.

His statement and the choice of words about it not being "illegal" is very pointed. It implies even to the casual observer that the age gap is significant. I'm not sure it was a sensible move, because it immediately opens up questions as to exactly how big the age gap was - and a few clicks takes you straight into the alleged backstory.

One poster on another thread (with a legal background I think) suggested that it's not a superinjunction that's in place - it's an NDA with a payment attached to it, and that it may be about to come to an end. If so, then the timing of this statement is interesting, as it comes across as a preemptive move. I wonder if the other party is speaking to the press?

Philip doesn’t have an older sister or any sisters, it’s just he and his brother.

Cocolapew · 26/05/2023 22:36

I always thought if you had a NDA in place it was forever, is this not the case? Seems weird to pay someone off for only a few years then they're free to say what they want.

Definitely. He's trying to control it but it'll soon end up out of his control.

I thought that there's a Stormy Daniel's clause?

JeandeServiette · 26/05/2023 22:39

Del boy

Bloody hell, really??

Which corner of the internet has the receipts?

Emotionalsupportviper · 26/05/2023 22:40

This might be useful to read. I guess that ultimately you might want to break a legal agreement (opening yourself up to being sued but not prosecuted) if there were good reasons to do so. I've genuinely no idea if this is relevant or not in this particular situation.

Sir Philip Green

What are non-disclosure agreements?

Topshop boss Sir Philip Green has dropped his legal action over NDAs signed by staff. But what are they?
